Why would anyone buy this?

It will never pay for itself.

Even at the current difficulty, it would take more than 6 months to make your money back.

And the difficulty is only going to increase, A LOT in the next couple of months.

These units won't pay for their own power in a month or two.

What do you suggest we buy that is deliverable in the next week or two?

Let's find some fpgas in the usa and I'll ship them. I'm very experienced with international shipping.

That's only 6 chips.  I wonder if this guy can get quantity:

WHAT? I don't get this. So why did you put this information:
"(...) please place your order online and do _not_ pay for it. We will send you a payment reminder as soon as they are in stock."

I didn't get any payment reminder ...

Nobody has for preorders.

We do not ship the orders by the order number. We ship them in the order that we've received the payments.

Ok you didnt promised really but with which scheme you asked buyers for payment?
not in the sequence the orders where placed?
its ok to do so but not transparent...

Money hasn't been taken, and blackarrow has been upfront with us all the way. So no harm done.

I'm itching to pay for my 10 + ATX adaptor. If it would be 8 weeks, then I would have to decide nearer the time.

seams they promised more than they can deliver...

We have promised to the customers that we've accepted payments from.

As I wrote few minutes before, we are doing our best to make them and ship to everybody but our suppliers are giving us a very hard time.

Regards!

I was even dropped from #1581 to #1597 for increasing my order.

Do not worry about this, we'll ship in the order that we've received the payments.

True I got a good deal. 1 600 watt will be much more efficient than 5 bricks.
